The AGA Health Plan is a high deductible plan with BlueCross BlueShield, partnered with MedPlus. Combining primary and secondary insurance creates maximum savings for the plan’s participants.

Secondary insurance pays most deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses up to the policy limit after your primary medical plan has paid its covered expenses. For the AGA Premier Health Plan, your secondary coverage pays a total of $4,500 toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, meaning you only have to pay $2,500 of your own money in any given year (excluding copays). For the AGA Value PLUS Health Plan, your secondary coverage pays a total of $3,000 toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, meaning you only have to pay $4,000 of your own money in any given year (excluding copays). 

Active AGA members must have at least one common law employee to be eligible for the AGA Health Plan. Sole proprietors are not eligible to participate in the plan. It is at the member’s discretion whether to offer the AGA Health Plan to its employees. If a member chooses to offer the plan, only active employees working 30 or more hours per week are eligible to enroll.

Open enrollment is a Qualifying Life Event. If your employer decides to participate and you are enrolled in another health plan, you may still be eligible to enroll in the AGA Health Plan. Credit can be given for the deductible that you and your family members have already reached on your current health plan. You may discuss credit for your deductible with the Benefits Educator during your scheduled appointment.
